After finishing my collegiate baseball career at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, I pursued my MBA. While working to complete my graduate degree, I found a passion for underwriting deals and it was then I knew real estate was the career for me.  Throughout my athletic and academic careers, I learned valuable lessons about teamwork, hard work, and perseverance which have guided my professional growth. 

I consider myself a lifelong student and enjoy any opportunity to learn something new.  By obtaining a deeper understanding of my clients' goals, I look beyond the short-term and position my clients for long-term financial and business success.

My clients rely on me to provide information and advice that keeps their profitability in the forefront, while holding true  to the highest degree of integrity. With my partners here at Colliers, I am able to leverage a broad range of both experience and industry-wide knowledge to better my degree of service. 

Having been born and raised here in Sacramento, I have a passion for local business growth and overall economic success. My fascination for real estate started with a locally based,  and prolific development company. I learned underneath both the Asset Management and Development arms of the firm as I was exposed to various types of large scale industrial and office projects. After the completion of my degree, my entrepreneurial drive funneled me into brokerage. I spent the next year learning the ins and outs of the brokerage business, and the Sacramento market, as I studied in a research roll with Colliers International. When the opportunity presented itself, I made the decision to specialize solely in the Industrial  product type. 

To me, brokerage is a long-term opportunity and challenge. It  requires building trust, and providing value to clients so that ultimately, they can see success in their business. Sacramento is proving to be an exciting place to be for the long-term;  and I look forward to the opportunity to both benefit and grow with my client's as new challenges arise.  Please do not hesitate to reach out to me for any of your business  or real estate needs.

I began my career in industrial real estate in 2003 after owning and operating a business in the Czech Republic. Running a business in a foreign country was both challenging and exhilarating.  The experience helps me connect me with business owners and decision makers regionally and at institutional and corporate levels.  It is the partnerships and personal connections with each owner-user, tenant, and landlord, that drives me to form lasting relationships. I pride myself on always putting the needs of my clients first, treating each deal as my top priority with integrity, energy, and attention to detail.
